“he should be treated like anyone else in the same situation”. Absolutely.
But how many are in the SAME situation? You may take a viewpoint that
he should be judged in exactly the same manner as anybody else and I would

friends and fellow players can honestly say that they have done everything
possible to nuture his development as a vulnerable young man subject to
endless media pressure and speculation. He should be punished but at the
same time he should be supported and educated.
